2.18 Master of Science in Counselling and Family
Therapy (Offered from January 2010)
The M.Sc. programme in the area of Counselling and Family Therapy
is aimed at developing professionals in this vital field, which is gaining
greater salience in the present times both from social and employment
perspectives. The contemporary social scenario has resulted in an
increased need and demand for professional support in terms of
counselling and family therapy, which is being increasingly recognized
as an effective approach both for promoting positives like strengthening
family ties, fostering positive parenting, and increasing resilience of
individuals in vulnerable situations as well as for addressing negative
aspects such as socio-psychological problems, maladaptive behaviours,
declining mental health, and psychosomatic disorders that are being
increasingly witnessed in the present times. However, though the need
for counselling and family therapy professionals is being increasingly
felt, there is a dearth of professional support and experts who could lend
a helping hand in promoting positive family processes and help individual
family members in distress in a comprehensive way. As a result, there is
a tremendous felt need for education and training in this area. By
developing the requisite knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills
in the area of Counselling and Family Therapy, this unique programme
of study would help to train professional cadres in the field, equipping
them for both wage-employment and self-employment, and thus fill the
existing lacuna.
A remarkable feature of this programme of study is its focus on the
applied aspect and the thrust on opportunities for hands-on experience
for the learner. In fact, almost half the credits of this Master’s Degree
Programme are ear-marked for application-oriented learning
opportunities. In the second year of the programme, the learner has the
option to be trained in Marital and Family Therapy; Child and Adolescent
Counselling and Therapy; or Substance Abuse Counselling and
Therapy. Yet another special feature of the programme is that it has a
provision of exit point for learners (after one year) in the form of P.G.
Diploma in Counselling and Family Therapy.
Programme Structure: The programme has theory, supervised
practicum, internship, and dissertation as components. The courses that
comprise the Master’s programme, along with the credit weightage, are

2.19 Master of Arts in Gender and Development
Studies [ MA (GD) ] (Full Time)
This Masters Programme would be taught in the face-to-face
mode through classroom teaching. After successful
completion of the first year courses, a learner has an exit
option and would earn a Postgraduate Diploma in Gender
and Development Studies.
The programme is likely to be of interest to academics and
researchers; trainers, facilitators, supervisors; staff of organizations
working in the area of gender and development; government
personnel; personnel working in banks financial institutions.
Development policies and practices have a differential impact on
women and men. This -necessitates an understanding of the “gender
gap” in access to resources, privileges, entitlements and choices.
Consensus has evolved around the need to explore the “gender
gap” in key development sectors and how this gap can be bridged.
There is now greater emphasis on mainstreaming gender
perspectives into the development process. This will contribute to
building a gender-sensitive rubric of development, recasting
development theory and action in the “direction of improved living
elimination of gender subordination and socioeconomic inequality as
about desirable change.”
Exploration of gender issues has become an important activity for
laid in Governmental agencies on establishing gender-differential
impacts and taking positive, affirmative action towards gender equality
and equity. It is now widely acknowledged that gender considerations They would choose courses worth 16 credits in each

FEG-2 or BHDF-1 or any one of the listed Modern Indian Languages.
FHS-1 (Foundation Course in Humanities and Social Sciences), and
FST-1 (Foundation Course in Science and Technology) are
compulsory. In first and second year of study respectively.
Elective Courses: The main task is to select elective courses.
Please remember that as a learner in an Open University you have
this unique opportunity of free choice of courses. You must have
noticed that the list of elective courses is very big and you have to
choose courses worth 56 to 64 credits from this group. However, if
you want to choose mathematics, we strongly recommend that you
should have studied mathematics as one of the subjects at 10 + 2
level. If you want elective courses in a particular discipline
you must take a minimum of 8 credits and a maximum of 48
credits in that discipline.
B.A.(Major)
If you want to go for indepth study of one particular discipline to obtain
B.A. Major or you want to pursue the same discipline for your
postgraduate studies you can select courses worth 48 credits from
that discipline. In B.A. option to do Major is available in English, Hindi,
Economics, History, Political Science, Public Administration, Sociology
and Mathematics.
B.A. (General)
If you do not intend to specialise in one discipline you can choose
courses from various disciplines. Here you will have to be careful.
If you choose from many disciplines you might end up doing one
course from each discipline which might not give you enough
knowledge in any of the disciplines. You should try to select courses
of your choice from 2 or 3 disciplines.
These courses would be available to you in a phased manner i.e.
some would be available in the first year, a few more would be
available in the second year and the remaining in the third year. This
phasing has been done for the convenience of counseling and
examination. In this scheme all the elective courses have been
divided into 6 groups:
Group 1 - BEGE–101, EHD–1, EHD–5, EEC–11, EHI–1, EHI–7,

5.32 Certificate Programme In NGO Management
(CNGOM)
Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an important role in
various developmental issues across the states in India. VAN! (Voluntary
Action Network India), an apex body of Indian voluntary organizations
estimates that there are 1.2 million NGOs working in India. As per the
data available with the planning commission, there are more than 12,000
NGOs in the country. In view of the increasingly important role of the
voluntary sector in the developmental process, all levels of policy
making have stressed the importance of building its capacity to face the
developmental challenge.
The emphasis of the management education process hither to, had
been limited to the private sector and or large public undertakings. The
capacity building efforts for the voluntary sector have remained limited
to organizing workshops and training programmes and formal course
work in universities. However, given the size of the sector, and if we

activism, the capacity building needs of the sector can only be catered
to by undertaking distance education programmes.

or B.Sc. to B.A./B.Com is permitted only in the first year of study
within 30 days from the receipt of first set of course material on

- per 6/8 credit course by way of Demand Draft drawn in favour of

6.16 Counselling and Examination Centre
All study centres, Programme study centres, special study centres are
not Examination centres. Practical Examination need not necessarily
be held at the centre where the learner has undergone counselling
or practicals. Regular counselling sessions will be conducted at the
learner support centres provided the number of learners for a
particular course is equal to or more than 10. If the number is less
than 10 then in place of regular counselling, intensive counselling
sessions will be held which essentially means that 40% of the number
of prescribed counselling sessions are to be conducted within a
weeks time.
6.17 Change/Correction of Address and Study
Centres
There is a printed card for change/correction of address and change
of Study Centre which is dispatched along with the study material. In
case there is any correction/change in the address, the learners are
advised to make use of proforma provided in the Programme Guide
and send it to the Regional Director concerned who will forward the
request after verifying the student’s signature to SR Division,
Maidan Garhi, New Delhi - 110068. Requests received directly
at SRD, New Delhi will not be entertained. The form of
change of address can also be downloaded from IGNOU
Website www.ignou.ac.in. Learners are advised not to write
letters to any other officer in the University in this regard.
Normally, it takes 4-6 weeks to effect the change. Therefore,
the learners are advised to make their own arrangements to
redirect the mail to the changed address during this period.
In case a change of Study Centre is desired, the learners are
advised to fill the proforma and address it to the Regional Centre
concerned. Since counseling facilities are not available for all
Programmes at all the centres, learners are advised to make sure
that counseling facilities are available, for the subject he/she has
chosen, at the new centre opted for. Request for change of Study
Centre is normally accepted subject to availability of seat for the
programme at the new centre asked for. Change of Address and
Study Centre are not permitted until admissions are finalized. Similarly,
change of Study Centre is not permissible in programmes
where practical components are involved.
6.18 Change of Region
When a learner wants transfer from one region to another, he/she
has to write to that effect to the Regional Centre from where he/she
is seeking a transfer marking copies to the Regional Centre where
he/she would like to be transferred to. Further, he/she has to obtain
a certificate from the Coordinator of the Study Centre from where he/
she is seeking transfer regarding the number of assignments submitted.
The Regional Director from where the learner is seeking the transfer
will transfer all records including details of fee payment to the new
Regional Centre under intimation to the Registrar, SR&E Division and
the learner. For change of Region in practical oriented Programmes
like computer programmes, B.Sc. etc., ‘No Objection Certificate’ is to
be obtained from the concerned Regional Centre/Study Centre
where the learner wishes his/her transfer.
96
In case any learner is keen for transfer from Army/Navy/Air Force
Regional Centre to any other Regional Centre of the University
during the cycle/session, he/she would have to pay the fee-share
money to the Regional Centre. In case the learner seeks transfer at
the beginning of the session/cycle the required programme course
fee for the session/cycle shall be deposited at the Regional Centre.
However, the transfer shall be subject to availability of seats wherever
applicable.
6.19 Foreign Students
Foreign students residing in India are eligible to seek admission in
IGNOU programmes who have valid student visa for the minimum
duration of the programme. Such students are required to remit the
fee at par with foreign students (fee structure of foreign students could
be downloaded from the website www.ignou.ac.in). Admission of
foreign students residing in India will be processed by the
International Division of the University after ensuring their
antecedents from the Ministry of External Affairs/Ministry of Human
Resource Development. Programmes with limited number of seats
are not offered for foreign students.
6.20 Term-end Examination
The learner are instructed to refer to the Tables given on Page no.
6 before submitting Examination Form for appearing in the June as
well as December Term-end examination. A learner should not
apply for appearing at the Term-end examinations of any course

Sub: RECOGNITION OF DEGREES AWARDED BY OPEN UNIVERSITIES

Sir/Madam,
There are a number of open Universities in the country offering various degrees/diploma through the mode of non-formal education. The
Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained
in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in terms of Section
22(1) of the UGC Act, 1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.F.1-8/92(CPP) dated February,1992 mentioning that the Certificate, Diplomas and Degrees
awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to be treated equivalent to the corresponding awards of the Universities in the country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No.F1-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas
as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by students between the two types of Universities so that the mobility of students
from Open University stream to traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to ensure mandatory requirements viz.
minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such degrees. A copy of Gazette Notification regarding specification of degrees issued
vide No.1-52/97(CPP-II) dated 31st January 2004 is enclosed. The details are also given in UGC Web site : www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees/Diploma/Certificates awarded by the Open Universities in conformity with the UGC notification
on Specification of Degrees as equivalent to the corresponding awards of the traditional Universities in the country .

Yours faithfully,

Subject : Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities

Dear Sir,
The Standing Committee at its 237th meeting held at Utkal University and the 68th Annual Session of the AIU and in December, 1993 at the
University of Delhi have decided in principle that the Degrees of the Open Universities be recognized in terms of the flowing resolutions:
“Resolved that the examinations of one University should be recognized by another on reciprocal basis, provided that the entrance qualification,
duration of course and the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university.”
“Further resolved that in case of Degrees awarded by Open Universities, the conditions regarding entrance qualifications and duration of the
course be relaxed provided that the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university.”
The decision is brought to the notice of the Universities for favour of appropriate action in the matter. The additional information, if required
in this behalf, may kindly be obtained from the Registrar of the Universities direct.

Thanking You,

Your faithfully,
